A government briefing on where the programme stands today, what the next phase of delivery looks like, and how the Kingdom is preparing its housing system for the scale of demand still ahead.

This high-level briefing explores the opportunities created by the new framework, the property ownership journey for non-Saudi buyers and investors, and the services available to support them – providing practical guidance on how to navigate the market and access new opportunities.

A growing number of young Saudi buyers are treating their first home as the beginning of a property portfolio. How early ownership compounds over time, what smart entry strategies look like and what it realistically takes to build wealth through real estate.

Profit rate movements and a rent freeze in Riyadh have landed simultaneously and changed the financial case for buying, renting, or waiting. Experts analyse different homebuyer profiles to identify the best solutions for buyers at different life stages.

Wafi escrow mechanics, payment milestone protections and the buyer security measures throughout the development lifecycle. A pure buyer-defence session walking through the regulatory safeguards that stand between an off-plan commitment and the keys.

For many buyers, the first home is the biggest decision they have made so far. Developers present the options designed with first-time buyers in mind, from formats and pricing to the support available along the way.

The legal framework around buying a home has been substantially strengthened, and buyers who know it hold the advantage. This session walks through the checkpoints of every purchase: verifying title and broker credentials, reading the sale contract, the true cost beyond the listed price, and the escrow and handover protections that govern off-plan sales, along with the safeguards a buyer can rely on throughout.

What the evolving product landscape looks like, how new residential formats are performing, and what buyers should understand about the options now available to them.

A first look at the communities currently rising across the Kingdom. Developers walk through what they are building, the buyers each community is designed for, and how these new neighbourhoods fit into the wider residential landscape.

The Kingdom is building at a pace and scale unlike anywhere else, and the map of where Saudis live is being redrawn. An opening look at the neighbourhoods taking shape across the country, the thinking behind them, and what they signal about how and where the next generation will choose to live.

A home is only part of the decision. The community around it shapes daily life just as much. Developers present how they are designing neighbourhoods around lifestyle, from the spaces people gather in to the rhythm of everyday convenience, and what it means to belong somewhere rather than simply live there.

How home design in the Kingdom is evolving beyond square metres. Layouts that reflect how families actually live, outdoor spaces treated as extensions of the home, and the balance between natural light, ventilation, privacy and the way the home connects to the community around it.

A firsthand look at the Kingdom’s luxury residential portfolio, with the sales or development team walking buyers through available properties, so that attendees leave with a clear picture of what is on offer and how to move forward.

What residents in already inhabited communities are actually using, what gets ignored, and what developers learned from the gap between what the brochure promised and how people live once they move in.

National homeownership has risen from under half the population to nearly two thirds in less than a decade. This session walks through how the system works in practice, which products fit different buyer profiles, and what every applicant should understand before committing.

This session provides non-Saudi investors with a clear and comprehensive journey for understanding their options for entering the Saudi real estate market, from selecting the appropriate regulatory route through to ownership and investment.

Expats living in the Kingdom are increasingly considering what property ownership could mean for them. This session brings a first-hand perspective, exploring the realities of renting, finding the right place to live, settling into the Kingdom and considering the move from tenant to homeowner.

This session outlines the options available to non-Saudis after acquiring property, including how they can manage the asset, benefit from it and undertake transactions within the applicable regulatory framework.

This keynote takes expats & foreign buyers through the legal side of a property purchase: sale and purchase contracts, due diligence on properties and developers, title registration and transfer, protections when buying off plan and the inheritance and succession process in the Kingdom.
